The new products are launched by Facebook to mark the onset of the holiday season and boost online shopping with ads with product tags on Instagram, free marketing training, resources, and more.
As more and more consumers turn to online shopping this season and businesses venture into the digital space, the new products are improvements to the recently launched Shops across Facebook platforms.
Ads With Product Tags On Instagram
Advertisers can now boost shoppable posts or create an ad with Product Tags in Ads Manager. Businesses will have more creative flexibility in shaping a post with CTAs in a copy, created from Ads Manager to drive more purchases.
The product tags in the ad will lead the user to a product detail page, users can then go to their website to complete a purchase. US-based businesses that have checkout enabled can directly drive the purchases in-app.
Ads with product tags run in feed or Explore, and the available formats for ads with product tags include photos, videos, and carousels.
New audience tools have also been added across Facebook & Instagram. Businesses can now target users who have shown interest in their products with actions like viewing a shop, savin a product, and more, with Shopping Engagement Custom Audiences. They can also reach users with interests similar to their existing customer base with Shopping Lookalike Audiences.
#Testing: Discount Feature For Facebook Shops
The feature is being tested for Shops in the US. Businesses can enable users to avail discounts on individual products, or by creating offers such as "Spend XX and get X% off on each item, or by applying promo code.
